All the rehearsals were in this guy`s penthouse. And I swear - I kept going to rehearsal. And I learned my song, and it was about a truck stop...and I noticed that none of the other girls were singing with me, but they did walk by in lingerie...and I`m like, `Huh, weird!` - on being the sixth member of the International Spice Girls, which turned out to be a front for a call-girl service

She goes, `Dare to BORE me.` And I`m like, `Really?` I`m like, `I`ll bore you. I will seriously, I will go and I will be ugly, and I will bore you.` Am I selling my show? Ugly, boring people - check it out! - on receiving the casting call for "The Office" (2005).

Honestly it would be great to get to play Pam for a long, long time...I don`t have real big aspirations to be a movie star. I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.

I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles...I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days. I called up this guy, and...this is how hard it was to get this job: He said, `So, uh, do you feel intuitive from time to time?` And I was like, `Yea, sure, I feel intuitive.` He said, `Do you read Tarot cards?` And I said, `I DO!` and I didn`t. - on her stint as a telephone psychic

I had real potential. But my goal was to be...adequate. I didn`t want to be an extraordinary receptionist, because I didn`t ever want to be promoted, or be given more work. My time was really valuable to me. For example, I could type 80 words per minute, but I wouldn`t tell people that, so when my boss would give me work, he would think it`d take two hours, but it would really only take about thirty minutes. So I`d have, like, ninety minutes of fun time. I got it all done, I just did it...real slow.
